Bare

and we are what,
        i question,
  pure of heart like your
            green eyes?

a thousand marbled
beads vibrating humid and
restless like salt on our breaths -
                          i just want to love you
                you said
and all i could say was:
                                        come sit your bare ass on the edge of the tub
                                    feel how cool it is

when you speak lover, i can see physically the
life coming
              out of you.
                                          miracle puffs!
repeated reminders that we are together
and fucking through our first winter.
                                              here
i say
                                            take my hoodie, it'll
                                                keep you warm

i hadn't washed our bed sheets since the break-up
i couldn't bare it! the mere thought of erasing us like
that, brought forth all the nectars of hell!
